In 2022, Brazil saw a growth in cattle and hog slaughter, with a total of 29.80 million and 56.15 million head slaughtered, marking a 7.5% and 5.9% increase from the previous year, respectively. Cattle slaughter was largely driven by an increase in the slaughter of females, while pork growth was attributed to higher exports and its accessibility as a lower-cost meat. Conversely, chicken egg production experienced a slight decrease of 0.1%, but still saw a 1.2% growth in national production, reaching a record high of 4.06 billion dozens. Milk collection, however, saw a 5% drop to 23.85 billion liters, marking the second consecutive year of decline due to the La Niña phenomenon, high production costs, and low domestic demand.
